Womanalistic #2

zines

A clever refutation of and response to derogatory stereotypes of women, this zine is sassy, funny, and beautifully illustrated. The highlight of this issue is the "dude mindfuck," wherein typical male emotional responses and catch phrases are called out as hollow (yet sometimes effective) ways of not addressing their own behavior or perceptions they have. Some examples include acting persecuted, becoming sad, "This is so 1990s!," "What is she PMSing?," "and "Are her panties all in a bunch?" Followed by vagina rorschach tests, crystal and aura-influenced artwork, and so much more. Edifying.
